I'm just putting this here in the case that I end up having the time to join. I'll see what my other soon-to-be launched RPs are like, then give you my final word. I think it's safe to say that as a result, this isn't my final app, so to speak, more so just here for any critique you might have. I took some liberties with this character, as explained in the notes, so those will probably be your main concerns. But yeah. Suck it, Kindred. I'm still doing Superman's son.

| NAME: |
Jonathan Samuel Kent // Jon-El
| NICKNAMES: |
Jon, Jonno.
| ALIAS: |
None at the moment. Just a guy trying to fill his father's shoes.
| AGE: |
21
| SEX: |
Male
| APPEARANCE: |
Jon has inherited all of his father's best features; the chiseled jawline, those determined blue eyes, and his muscular physique. Jon is a handsome young man, as Nanna Martha so frequently tells him, and he seems to look his best when wearing his very own Superman suit, tailor made for him in the Fortress of Solitude.
| POWERS/SKILLS: |
Jon has all the abilities granted to a Kryptonian under a yellow sun; he has the strength, the speed, the flight, the visions and the hearing that his father and Aunt Kara have. However, being a part human does have its downsides - absent is his outright invulnerability. While he can still take an extraordinary amount of punishment, Jon can bleed. His bones can break, and a powerful enough weapon will hurt him. Lois and Clark have tried their best to counter this by asking the Batman himself, Bruce Wayne, to train Jon in the past; what we have now is a human-kryptonian hybrid with training from arguably one of the best martial artists - and detectives - in the world.
| BACKSTORY: |
Jonathan Samuel Kent was born to Clark and Lois Lane-Kent in the shining city of Metropolis, Delaware. A human-kryptonian hybrid with a natural birth, his parents - and many of the scientists they consulted - were unsure whether he was even possible. But as his birth drew nearer, Clark could hear his steady heartbeat, and he and Lois were assured that Jon was not only a possibility, but that he was happening. He existed. Their very own little miracle.
Jon grew up knowing that his father was Superman, that his "Aunt" Kara was Supergirl, and that his big brother Conner was Superboy. When his powers first manifested at the tender age of five, it was Clark that promised him that one day, it would be him wearing the big "S" on his chest. However, getting used to his powers wasn't as easy as he thought it would be; not even his family was prepared for the challenges ahead. In the struggle to help Jon learn to control his abilities, Clark eventually called on the help of Bruce Wayne, the man who Jon knew to be Batman. With Bruce's training and his family's motivation, Jon came to use his powers masterfully. A little knowledge of martial arts and tactical strategies were bound to be helpful, too.
Now, at the age of twenty-one, Jon is pursuing a career as a novelist and journalist, just like his mother was before him. With Lois and Clark's full support, he was just about to begin his third year of college when his father disappeared. Unable to wait for his return any longer, Jon donned his very own suit, and with great apprehension and self doubt... he took flight.

| MOTIVATION FOR JOINING THE LEAGUE?: |
Superman, Jon's father, is missing. One can only go so long without wanting some answers. And anyway, Clark and Lois have always told Jon that one day, the time will come for him to be the one protecting the Earth and its people. There's an itch in the back of his head telling him that that time is now.
| WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE LEAGUE?: |
Jon brings whatever it is the son of Superman should bring - a heavy-hitting set of powers with the morals and discipline you would expect from being raised in the Kent-Lane household.
| NOTES: |
- I took some liberties regarding the game's canon. If Jon is accepted, that would mean that Clark is now in his forties, and has had a good twenty-something year run as Superman, which could potentially mean that he is quite a bit older than some of the other original Leaguers. It would also mean that Clark and Bruce were friends long before the League's formation, which I don't think is too much of a stretch, but then again that's up to you, Sam.
- In case it wasn't obvious already, Clark is Christopher Reeve, whereas Jon is Henry Cavill. I think it's fitting. Shoot me.
- Jon's powers work much in the same way as Clark's do in Max Landis' fantastic series, Superman: American Alien. He gets hurt. (Also, read American Alien. Great read.)
